ACE TRANSMISSION REMANUFACTURING - Key Persons
I grew up in this industry. When I was about eight years old, my father had me working at a solvent tank, washing parts for him in a California repair shop.
By 1976, I was living in Springfield, Missouri, working at a local transmission shop, and I had rebuilt thousands of transmissions. I developed an interest in owning my own shop, and the pieces started falling into place.
A friend of mine ran a small car dealership. He would buy vehicles with bad transmissions, and I would fix them - at home, on the side. And my father-in-law knew people at a taxi cab company, so I fixed those at home too.
